We undertake thorough, exhaustive research using innovative tools and resources.

Services

Genealogy Research

We have experience in researching and solving complex executry cases that involve large family trees and multiple beneficiaries. Our research and investigations extend throughout the world, and we endeavour to collate all relevant proofs of identification for each living beneficiary traced.
We produce evidentially sound reports and accompanying family charts. These are of the highest standard and are accepted by courts and insurers alike.
Tracing Investigations
Whether we are searching for a beneficiary, or even someone due monies from a historical balance, the high quality of our inquiries remains the same. While we use all up to date desktop systems and procedures in our investigations, we are also accustomed and trained to carry out old-fashioned policing methods on the ground.
Our average yearly solvency has never dipped below 97%.

Genealogy Research

Our team is trained to the highest police level in interviewing techniques. This means we know how to get important information from witnesses in a clear, methodical manner. We have experience in dealing with a wide range of insurance-related precognition work, from motor vehicle insurance claims through to fatal accidents.
We are especially adept at interviewing serving police officers. We know the right questions to ask because we know how incidents should be dealt with.

Correspondence

As former police officers, we are aware of the dangers of unsolicited telephone and email scams. We always write to people we have traced, instead of calling. We believe it is important that you can be sure you are dealing with a reputable firm, only ever instructed by law or insurance firms.

Checks

The first paragraph of any correspondence we send outlines several ways in which you can check our credentials.We urge you to do so before contacting us.

Interviews

Once you have contacted our office, we will require you to undertake a short interview to establish certain information about you and your family. During this process, we may ask if you can assist us in tracing other members of your extended family. We welcome any help you may be able to provide.

Identification Documents

In most cases, we will request certain documentary proof of identification. This is a standard legal requirement in executry cases and is in line with legislation to combat money laundering.
Through consulting the courts and our clients, we have concluded that the best type of identification each person should provide are the following:

  1. Authenticated Copy of Birth Certificate
  2. Authenticated Copy of Marriage Certificate (only in the case of married women)
  3. Authenticated Copy of Passport OR Driving Licence OR Other Form of Identification Containing Photo ID
  4. Authenticated Copy of a Utility Bill or Other Similar Document Issued Within the Past 3 Months, Showing Your Name and Address.
once we receive these authenticated documents, we will email or write to you to confirm receipt. These materials will be appended to our report to the instructing solicitor in the case.

Testimonials

"100% success rate"

“We have used Alan and his team for nearly three years with a 100% success rate. He is highly
professional and has kept us updated regularly. His scope of work includes tracing beneficiaries abroad which has extended to slightly complicated cases where he was able to locate a beneficiary who had been living in a car and a another who was a cloistered nun. Most recently, he located a beneficiary who had changed her name several times. We have been pleased with the level of service Alan provides.”
